Default Shouldn't the alarm be going off?

With the S2000 completely locked and the alarmed armed via the remote I reached into the car through an open window (imagine a thief smashing the window or slicing open the top) and unlock the door with the inside latch and open the door. The alarm doesn't go off. I would imagine it should but is this the case on S2000's? I've tried this after waiting 60-seconds after the car was locked and I also tried this on my brother's S2000 and the alarm would never go off. Is this the way the S2000's alarm is supposed to work? Thank you.

Are you sure you have an alarm or just a remote key fob?

The car doesn't come with an alarm. The only "Honda" alarm is dealer installed and is purchased and installed separately.

The easy way to tell if you have a factory alarm is to look under your driver's seat - if you see a box, you have an alarm. If not, you don't.

I found the control arm and kunckle (still don't know what that is) assembly for sale for a good price, but it's from an MY05. I've searched and searched but can't seem to find a definitive answer as to whether or not these are compatible. Also, if anyone has some parts for sale, I could use em! Thanks for your help so much guys!
